LEO Pharma Policy on Access to Medicinal Products
through Managed Access Programs
At LEO Pharma, we are focused on advancing medical dermatology through well-designed and rigorous clinical trials and obtaining approval from regulatory authorities. Prior to such regulatory approval, participation in one of LEO Pharma's clinical trials provides an option for patients to gain access to medicines not yet authorized. When a clinical trial is not an option, either because a patient is not able to participate or is ineligible, LEO Pharma's Managed Access Program (MAP) may address the needs for patients who have exhausted all other available treatment options.
There are a variety of local regulations and mechanisms to provide medicinal products before regulatory approval or commercial availability. Different terms exist locally for these access provisions, including "Compassionate Use", "Expanded Access", and “Named Patient Supply”. LEO Pharma's MAPs refer to these local mechanisms where access is provided to medicinal products outside of clinical trials and in some cases, before local approval or commercial availability. These programs must comply with the specific regulatory and legal requirements of each country, which may vary based on the different indications and formulations available and may evolve over time.
LEO Pharma's Policy
LEO Pharma is dedicated to exploring viable ways to give patients access to our medicinal products, in compliance with applicable local regulations, if the following criteria are met:
- Only an appropriately licensed and qualified physician may initiate a request on behalf of a patient.
- The patient to be treated has a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and there is no satisfactory alternative therapy
- The patient is not eligible or is unable to participate in any ongoing clinical trial including lack of access due to geographical limitations
- There is an adequate supply of the medicinal product to support the clinical trials and the MAP request
- Providing the medicinal product should not interfere with, delay or compromise the timely completion of clinical trials that are intended to support approval by regulatory authorities.
- The patient meets the MAP approval criteria defined by LEO Pharma
- Sufficient data is available to expect a potential benefit of treatment which outweighs the potential risk(s) in the context of the disease or condition to be treated.
- The medicinal product is under active development (a dose and regimen has been defined, and the medicinal product is in Phase 2 development or beyond) and has not been placed on regulatory or other hold.
LEO Pharma commits to a transparent, careful, and fair evaluation of each request.
All initial requests received through the below MAP platform will be acknowledged within one business day. Requests will thereafter be reviewed using LEO Pharma's processes and standards.
LEO Pharma commits to evaluate requests and provide prompt response, provided the documentation required from a physician to evaluate the request is complete and no additional clarifications or authorizations are needed.
At LEO Pharma, a MAP is available; however, availability of the program does not guarantee access to product. Regulatory pathways for providing medicinal products differ across jurisdictions, and as a result, country specific variations can occur. Other criteria set forth above and legal restrictions also apply and may limit availability. Approval of any request is at LEO's sole discretion and may only be granted under limited circumstances; consequently, LEO Pharma may be unable to accommodate all requests. If LEO Pharma approval is granted, the physician requesting the unlicensed drug must enter into a documented agreement with LEO Pharma.
LEO Pharma rigorously follows local country regulations and compliant procedures. In some countries the requestor may need to obtain regulatory agency and/or local ethics committee approval. Such approvals remain the responsibility of the requesting physician. LEO Pharma strives to ensure the provision of medicinal products in a timely manner once all required local health authority and import/distribution licenses are received by us. However, timelines for provision may vary based on local regulatory requirements, product availability and logistical challenges.
This Policy does not apply to the continued supply of a LEO Pharma medicinal product to patients who participated in a LEO Pharma clinical trial.
Once a drug is approved and commercially available in the country of the request, a MAP will no longer be available as a mechanism to provide access.
